Seth Mazzaglia was indicted on charges including first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension or prosecution in the death of Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott.

Prosecutors allege Mazzaglia strangled Marriott, a University of New Hampshire student, at his Dover, N.H., apartment on Oct. 9. Her body was never found.

Bob and Melissa Marriott said they are "satisfied with the indictment," but said the arrest warrants and affidavits may contain statements from Mazzaglia that "suggest that Lizzi’s murder was the accidental consequence of a bizarre, abnormal consensual act."

"The statements are a complete fabrication and are more indicative of Mr. Mazzaglia’s twisted sense of reality and responsibility as opposed to Lizzi’s character and the life she led for 19 years. In short, the statements of Mr. Mazzaglia are at odds with many of the allegations in the indictment and should be viewed with extreme skepticism," the family said in a statement.

Earlier this month, Kathryn McDonough, 19, of Portsmouth, was indicted in connection with the case. Prosecutors allege that she gave a false alibi for her and Mazzaglia's whereabouts.
